If you count Monday as part of a long weekend, the Harrison County Fillies put up three victories for the weekend. Beginning with a knock down, drag out in Paris Friday and ending with two home wins, the Fillies brought their season record to 4-1.

The Harrison County Thorobreds wrestling squad had a busy week as they faced some tough competition in two locations.

On Wednesday, Dec. 9, the Thorobreds traveled to Mt. Sterling to take on region rival Montgomery County.
